If you hate green onions (and I know a lot of people that do) and you absolutely cringe when seeing the pic above or below, it's really not what you think. The actual negi mound is very mild. Most of the flavor comes from the caramelized onions and we already know how good those taste. There's also some fresh ground chili paste placed on top of the mound, but I didn't really notice them affecting the soup. Overall, the tonic nature of the Negi Daku Ramen was healthy and enjoyable.
Another popular dish that I see everyone order is the Ika Maruyaki. I used to hate eating squid when I was a kid because of a couple bad experiences when I spent hours trying to chew the darn thing. But now all has been forgotten and squid is back on my list of favorites. And I'm glad that it is because this Ika Maruyaki was downright delicious. The sauce used to flavor the squid was also really good. The tare is a mixture of shoyu, mirin, sake, sugar, and a secret spice. Yum!
Wow, the days are flying by. Just 12 more bowls to go. And it's about to get hot in here!
